We are working on our new website. This much we can say: it will provide a lot of content and has a very reduced design. We are really looking forward to it. Come back or subscribe to our newsletter to be there first. Blog and wines are still available here in the meantime.
Wir freuen uns sehr, unsere Heurigentermine für den Sommer 2019 anzukündigen. An sechs Nächten über den Sommer verteilt werden wir unseren Hof in Horitschon in eine Gartenparty verwandeln. Ein perfekter Anlass, um uns zu besuchen und unsere Weine zu entdecken, oder auch wiederzuentdecken. Um unsere neuen Weine kennenzulernen, oder auch die reifen, um leckeres Essen […]
Preparation for the Sommer Heuriger The unforgiving Mittelburgenland sun seems to have settled in and the feeling of being closer to ready to welcome our first guests as well. As countless details are being discussed by the whole team everyday, we are now entering the ever exciting phase of the plan involving picking wines and […]
Foto: © Edouard Thorens Die Weinwelt ist ein Dorf. Und so wurde ich auf Dominik aufmerksam, als er die Weinbar o boufés zu bespielen begann. Zu allererst erregte sein Instagram-Account „natureonmytongue“ meine Aufmerksamkeit. Diesen kann man jedem ans Herz legen.

Every vintage is unique. Due to the heat and drought, we could not have realistically expected that 2018 turn out to be typical. This being our earliest harvest ever, we began picking on 27 August. We started with the early-ripening varieties Pinot Noir and Sankt Laurent which posed us quite some challenges. On the one […]
Now some people may say I am obsessed with Austria. These rumors are true. How can one country have so many grapes that are explicitly terroir sponges? I came to the Weninger winery as an intern because Blaufränkisch was screaming at me. Also because such incredible farming on a medium-sized estate is something I find […]
Design by Weninger (available free of charge for affiliated winemakers) Weninger against the machine After a robust Facebook discussion in the past year, it became clear to me how I wanted my 2018 harvest t-shirt to look.

Man darf gespannt sein! Winzer zu Gast Spannende Fragen machen das Interview mit Franz R. Weninger zu mehr als einem üblichen Winzerporträt. Was trinkt er? […]
The View From the Outside When I came back from my internship in California in 1999, I had a clear goal in mind. I was impressed by the way Americans thought big; I was disillusioned by the copies, wineries that recreated Bordeaux or Tuscany – they felt like Disneyland. Anyone who has been to one […]
